Spinoff Studies

The investigators of LINX encourage students and researchers to conduct studies of their own design that are complementary to LINX. All projects must be first approved by the principal investigators. Any work at a particular LINX site must be approved by the site leader. Funding is the responsibility of the student or researcher. Submitt several copies of a short proposal (< 5pp of text) to Pat Mulholland, Environmental Sciences Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, P.O Box 2008, Oak Ridge, TN, 37831-6036.
